One of the questions that is always asked of me is 41 I became an animal collector in the first place. The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able ~' to say with any 42 was not the conventional "mamma" or "daddy", 43 the word "zoo", which I would repeat over and over again with a shrill voice until someone, in group to 44 me up, would take me to the zoo. When I grew a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great45 of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare-time exploring thecountryside in search of fresh specimens to 46 to my collection of pets. later on I went for ayear to the City Zoo, as a student 47 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches, which were not easy to keep at home~ When I left, I successfully hadenough money of my own to be able to 48 my first trip and I have been going regularly ever since then. Though a collector's job is not an easy one and is full of 49, it is certainly a job which will appeal 70 all those who Jove animals and travel.4 1. A. how B. where C. when D. whether42.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:According to the dictionary definition of "create", ordinary people are creative every day. To create means "to bring into being, to cause to exist"--something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware ofword格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, "There is nothing new under the sun," the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.51. The author holds thatA. creativity is of highly demandB. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extentC. creativity is to create something new and concreteD. to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one's creativity52. "There is nothing new under the sun." (Par. 3) really implies that __A. we can seldom create new thingsB. a new thing is only a taleC. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original thingsD. we can scarcely see really new things in the world53. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?A. It's more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.54. The best title for this passage is __A. How to Cultivate One's CreativityB. What is CreativityC. The Importance of CreativityD. Creativity--a Not Farway ThingQuestions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white--a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life--her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce's 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood".55. What's the author's main purpose in the passage?word格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持A. To interpret Emily Dickinson's eccentric behavior.B. To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.C. To discuss Emily Dickinson's failed love affair.D. To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson's time.56. Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson's eccentricities?A. Refusing to eat.B. Wearing only white.C. Avoiding visitors.D. Staying in her room.57. The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson's seclusion to __A. physical illnessB. a failed love affairC. religious fervorD. her dislike of people58. It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that wascharacterized by __A. strong Puritan beliefsB. equality of men and womenC. the encouragement of nonconformityD. the appreciation of poetic creativityQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to pl0w. But that was once upon a time.. The days of unused land are over. Now the land has been spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks, put to use.At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and places to play. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishers. And it isn't just a matter of population growth. Our modem technology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports. Each of these land uses swallows up precious space. Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000 acres each year. And urban sprawl -- the spreading out of cities -- is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife. It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.59. "...the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around" means that __A. the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk aroundB. the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyoneC. the United States could provide whatever its inhabitents' needsD. the United States was not able to allow its people to do what they wanted to60. The sentence of "Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over" suggests thatA, the United States had a lot of rivers to dam and many rural valleys, tooB. the rivers could be dammed laterC. rural valleys would be considered in the futureD. people needn't think of the rivers and valleys61. "Now the land has been spoken for, ..." tells us that __A. today, land has shown its valuesB. now, people have said something about landC. nowadays, land has been claimed by human beingsD. recently, people spoke for the land62. The word "sprawl" indicates thatword格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持A. cities are developing very fast to meet the people's demandsB. urban areas are diminishing smoothlyC. urban areas are enlarging steadily in a planned wayD. cities are spreading out without any plansQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kindsof people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.63. What kind of society tends to promote social changes?A. A society where people are similar in many ways.B. A society where there are only white people.C. A society where there are only black people.D. A society where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.64. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?A. Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.B. Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were old.C. Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to promote social change.D. Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.65. Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways becauseA. people there are easy to pleaseB. people there are less argumentaryC. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think itnecessary to changeD. people there have same needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty66. The passage is mainly discussingA. two different societiesB. certain factors that determine the case with which social change occursC. the necessity of social changeD. the significance of social changeSection BDirections: You should answer questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages. Mark your answer on the answer sheet.Tidal Powerword格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持Undersea turbines which produce electricity from the tides are set to become an important source of renewable energy for Britain. It is still too early to predict the extent of the impact they may have, but all the signs are that they will play a significant role in the future.A Operating on the same principle as wind turbines, the power in sea turbines comes from tidalcurrents which turn blades similar to ships’ propellers, but, unlike wind, the tides are predictable and the power input is constant. The technology raises the prospect of Britain becoming self-sufficient in renewable energy and drastically reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. If tide，wind and wave power are all developed, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe. Unlike wind power, which Britain originally developed and then abandoned for 20 years allowing the Dutch to make it a major industry, undersea turbines could become a big export earner to island nations such as Japan and New Zealand.B Tidal sites have already been identified that will produce one sixth or more of the UK’s power• and at prices competitive with modem gas turbines and undercutting those of the already ailing nuclear industry. One site alone, the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and mainland Scotland, could produce 10% of the country's electricity with banks of turbines under the sea, and another at Alderney in the Channel Islands three times the 1,200 megawatts of Britain’s largest and newest nuclear plant, Sizewell B，in Suffolk. Other sitesidentified include the Bristol Channel and the west coast of Scotland, particularly the channel between Campbeltown and Northern Ireland.C Work on designs for the new turbine blades and sites are well advanced at the University ofSouthampton’s sustainable energy research group. The first station is expected to be installed off Lynmouth in Devon shortly to test the technology in a venture jointly funded by the department of Trade and Industry and the European Union. AbuBakr Bahaj, in charge of the Southampton research, said: “The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because the flows of water are predictable and constant. The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. There are a few technical difficulties, but I believe in the next five to ten years wc will be installing commercial marine turbine farms.” Southampton has been awarded £215,000 over three years to develop the turbines and is working with Marine Current Turbines,a subsidiary of IT power, on the Lynmouth project. EU research has now identified 106potential sites for tidal power, 80% round the coasts of Britain. The best sites are between islands or around heavily indented coasts where there are strong tidal currents.D A marine turbine blade needs to be only one third of the size of a wind generator to produce threetimes as much power. The blades will be about 20 meters in diameter, so around 30 metres of water is required. Unlike wind power, there are unlikely to be environmental objections. Fish and other creatures are thought unlikely to be at risk from the relatively slow-turning blades.Each turbine will be mounted on a tower which will connect to the national power supply grid via underwater cables. The towers will stick out of the water and be lit, to warn shipping, and also be designed to be lifted out of the water for maintenance and to clean seaweed from the blades.E Dr Bahaj has done most work on the Alderney site, where there arc powerful currents. The singleundersea turbine farm would produce far more power than needed for the Channel Islands and most would be fed into the French Grid and be re-imported into Britain via the cable under theChannel.F One technical difficulty is cavitation, where low pressure behind a turning blade causes airbubbles. These can cause vibr ation and damage the blades of the turbines. Dr Bahaj said: “We have to test a number of blade types to avoid this happening or at least make sure it does not damage the turbines or reduce performance. Another slight concern is submerged debrisfloating into the blades. So far we do not know how much of a problem it might be. We will have to make the turbines robust because the sea is a hostile environment, but all the signs that we can do it are good.”Questions 67-70This passage has six paragraphs, A-F. Which paragraph contains the following information? Choose the correct letter, A-F, for questions 67-70 and mark your choice on the answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.67. the location of the first test site68. a way of bringing the power produced on one site back into Britain69. a reference to a previous attempt by Britain to find an alternative source of energy70. mention of the possibility of applying technology from another industryQuestions 71-75Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in this passage? For questions 71-75, chooseA. if the statement agrees with the views of the writer (YES)B. if the statement contradicts the views of the writer (NO)C. if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this (NOT GIVEN)71. It is a more reliable source of energy than wind power.72. Its introduction has come as a result of public pressure.73. It could contribute to the closure of many existing power stations in Britain.74. It could face a lot of resistance from other fuel industries.75. It is best produced in the vicinity of coastlines with particular features.。

So he went toAustralia, stopping off in many countries beween. He also decided to writeabout the experience and produced a guide for other travelers making similarjourneys.In 1970, British airports were used by 32million people. In 2004, the figure was 216 million. In 2030, according togovernment forecasts, it will be around 500 million. It’s a growth drivenbythe emergence of low cost airlines, offering access to all parts of the worldfor less than £100.This has made a huge contribution to globalwarming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbondioxide (二氧化碳）as a year’smotoring (驾车). A returnflight to Australia equals the emissions (排放）of three average cars for a year. And the pollution is released at aheight where its effect on climate change is more than double that on theground.Mark Ellingham built his business onhelping people travel. Now he wants to help people stop – at least by air.He is calling for a £100 green tax on allflights to Europe and Africa, and £250 on flights to the rest of the world. Healso wants investment to create a low-carbon economy, as well as a halt to airportexpansion.Mark Ellingham’s commitment is importantbecause his readers aren’t just the sort of young and adventurous people whowould happily jump on a plane to spend a weekend exploring a foreign culture.They are also the sort of people who say they care about the environment. It'sa debate that splits people down the middle.The tourist industry has responded byoffering offsetting (补偿) schemes. A small increase in the price of a ticket is used toplant trees.But critics say that it is not enough tojust be carbon neutral. We should be actively cutting back on puttinggreenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person, making aplane journey will be his or her largest contribution to global warming. It maybe good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better not to do the damagein the first place.16. Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China onhis way to Australia 25 years ago.A.

Not mentionedTunguska Event1 A hundred years ago this week, a giganticexplosion ripped (撕裂) open the day y above a forest in western Siberia, leaving ascientific riddle that endures to this day.2 A dazzling light pierced the heavens,followed by a shock wave as strong as 1,000 atomic bombs. The explosionflattened 80 million trees across an area of 2,000 square kilometers. Thefireball was so great that, a day later, Londoners could read their newspapersunder the night sky. What caused the so-called Tunguska Event, named after thenearby Podkamennaya Tunguska river, still remains a mystery.3 Experts suspect it was a rock that, aftertraveling in space for millions of years, was destined to crash to Earth atexactly 7:17 a.m. on June 30, 1908. This possibility worries scientists.“Imagine an unspotted asteroid (小行星) hitting a significant chunk(块) of land ... and imagine if that area, unlike Tunguska, werepopulated,” the British science journal Nature commented recently.4 But no fragments of the “rock” have everbeen found. Finding such evidence would be important, for it would increase ourknowledge about the risk posed by dangerous Near Earth Objects (NEOs), sayItalian researchers Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonatti and Giuseppe Longo. When thenext Tunguska NEO approaches, scientists will have to decide whether to try todeflect (使偏转) it or blowit up in space.5 However, several rival theories for theTunguska Event exist. Wolfgang Kundt, a professor at Germany's Bonn University,believes the Tunguska Event was caused by a massive escape of 10 million tonsof methane(甲烷)-rich gasfrom deep within earth's crust. Some people hold that the explosion was causedby an alien spaceship crash, or a black hole in the universe.23. Paragraph 224. Paragraph 325. Paragraph 426. Paragraph 5A. Competing ExplanationsB.

Some psychologists say that thisnighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others，however，think that dreams are an importantpart of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us abouta person’s mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought thatdreams contained messages from God.___E________(46)The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud1，was probably the first person tostudy dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are anexpression of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people toexpress the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express inreal life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2 wasonce a student of Freud’s. Jung，however，had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose ofa dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. ______F_____(47) Forexample, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high anopinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroesmay learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to developtheories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from theUniversity of California, Santa Cruz，believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life,thoughts, and behavior. ______C_____(48) Domhoff believes that there is a connectionbetween dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as muchas adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time todevelop.He has also found a link between dreams andgender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. ____A_______(49)This is not true of women’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this genderdifference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, includingboth modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves?Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. _____D______(50)The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event willactually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is notthe real world.A. For example, the people in men's dreamsare often other men. and the dreams often involve fighting.B. Men and women dream about differentthings.C. A criminal, for example, might dreamabout crime.D. However, one thing they agree on this:If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.E.

Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Changing Generation[A] It turns out today's teenagers aren't so scary after all.Results of USA WEEKEND'S Teens & Parents survey reveal a generation of young people who get along well with theirparents and approve of the way they're being raised. Theythink of their parents with affection and respect. They speak with Mom or Dad when they have a problem. Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their family is the No. 1 priority in their parents, lives. Many even think their parents are cool! Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, rarely is it anything more alarming than a diary or off-color (低俗的) book or CD.[B] Such results may seem surprising against the background of shocking incidents that color the way the mass media portray the young. In October 2000, , the same month the survey was taken, the Washington-based Center for Media and Public Affairs wrote in its publication Media Monitor that, in a recent month of TV news coverage of American youth, just 2% of teens were shown at home, and just 1% were portrayed in a work setting. In contrast, the criminal justice system accounted for nearly one out of every five visual backgrounds. No wonder parents worry their own kids might spin out of control once they hit the turbulent waters of adolescence.[C] The overall facts ought to reassure us. The survey shows us that today's teens are affectionate, sensible and far happier than the angry and tortured souls that have been painted for us by stereotypes. From other sources, we also know teenage crime, drug abuse and premarital sex are in general decline. We, of course, need to pay attention to youngsters who are filled with discontent and hostility, but we should not allow these extreme cases to distort our view of most young people.[D] My own research at the Stanford Center on Adolescence uses in-depth interviews with small samples of youngsters rather than large-scale surveys. Still, in my studies and others I have read, I find the same patterns as in USA WEEKEND'S survey. Today's teenagers admire their parents and welcome parental guidance about important matters such as career choice—though certainly not Mom and Dad'sadvice on matters of personal taste, such as music or fashion. When we ask teens to choose a hero，they usually select an older family member rather than a remote public figure. Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends.[E] Contrary to some stereotypes, most adolescents believe they must be tolerant of differences among individuals (though they do not always find this easy in the cliquish (拉帮结派的) environment of high school). Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. One prevalent quality we have found in teens, statements about themselves, their friends and their families is a strikingly positive emotional tone. By and large, these are very nice kids, and as the band The Who used to sing, "The kids are alright."[F] How much is today's spirit of harmony a change from our more turbulent past? A mere generation ago, parent-child relations were described as "the generation gap". Yet even then reports of widespread youth rebellion were overdone: Most kids in the '60s and 70s shared their parents, basic values. Still, it is true that American families are growing closer at the dawn of this new millennium (千年). Perhaps there is less to fight about, with the country in a period of tranquility and the dangers of drug abuse and other unwholesome behavior well known. Perhaps in the face of impersonal and intimidating globalization, a young person's family feels more like a friendly haven than an oppressive trap. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than in the recent past. Within just the past five years, I have noticed parents returning to a belief that teenagers need the guidance of elders rather than the liberal, "anything goes" mode of child-rearing that became popular in the second half of the 20th century.[G] But missing from all these data is the sense that today's young care very much about their country, about the broader civic and political environment, or about the future of theirsociety. They seem to be turning inward—generally in a pro-social manner, certainly with positive benefits for intimate relationships, but too often at the expense of a connection with the present and future world beyond, including the society they will one day inherit.[H] Recently, we examined more than 400 essays on the "laws of life" that teens from two communities had written as part of an educational program initiated by the John Templeton Foundation in Radnor, Pa. In those essays, and in follow-up interviews with a few of the teenagers, we found lots of insight, positive feeling and inspirational thinking. But we also found little interest in civic life beyond the tight circles of their family and immediate friends.[I] For example, only one boy said he would like to be president when he grows up. When I was in high school, dozens in my class alone would have answered differently. In fact, other recent studies have found there has never been a time in American history when so small a proportion of young people have sought or accepted leadership roles in local civic organizations. It is also troubling that voting rates among our youngest eligible voters—18- to 24-year-olds—are way down: Little more than one in four now go to the polls, even in national elections, compared with almost twice that many when 18-year-olds were first given the vote.[J] In our interviews, many students viewed politics with suspicion and distaste. " Most politicians are kind of crooked (不诚实的)" one student declared. Another, discussing national politics, said, “I feel like one person can't do that much, and I get the impression most people don't think a group of people can do that much." Asked what they would like to change in the world, the students mentioned only personal concerns such as slowing down the pace of life, gaining good friends, becoming more spiritual, becoming either more materially successful or less materially oriented (depending on the student's values), and being more respectful of the Earth, animals and other people. One boysaid, "I'd rather be concentrating on artistic efforts than saving the world or something."[K] It is fine and healthy for teens to cultivate their personal interests, and it is good news when young people enjoy harmonious relations with their family and friends. But there is also a place in a young life for noble purposes that include a dedication to the broader society, a love of country and an aspiration to make their own leadership contributions.[L] In the past, the young have eagerly participated in national service and civic affairs, often with lots of energy and idealism. If this is not happening today, we should ask why. Our society needs the full participation of its younger citizens if it is to continue to thrive. We know the promise is there—this is a well-grounded, talented, warm-hearted group of youngsters. We have everything to gain by encouraging them to explore the world beyond their immediate experience and to prepare themselves for their turn at shaping that world.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

One of the questions that is alwaysasked of me is 41 I became an animal collector in the first place. The answer is that I havealways been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able~' to say with any 42 was not the conventional "mamma" or "daddy", 43 the word "zoo",which I would repeat over and over again with a shrill voice until someone, in group to 44 meup, would take me to the zoo. When I grew a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great45 of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare-time exploring thecountryside in search of fresh specimens to 46 to my collection of pets. later on I went for ayear to the City Zoo, as a student 47 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions,bears, bison and ostriches, which were not easy to keep at home~ When I left, I successfully hadenough money of my own to be able to 48 my first trip and I have been going regularly eversince then.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:According to the dictionary definition of "create", ordinary people are creative every day. Tocreate means "to bring into being, to cause to exist"--something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First thisinvolves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware ofour world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when weplan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.If we believe theexpression, "There is nothing new under the sun," the creativity is remaking or recombining theold in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or abetter way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses andfilters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our newideas, to applythem to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to workis another.These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are alsoinvolved in many of our day to day activities.51. The author holds thatA. creativity is of highly demandB. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extentC. creativity is to create something new and concreteD. to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one'screativity52.

What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought andits being putinto practice?A. It's more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it inpractice.B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a newthing.C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become aninventor.54. The best title for this passage is __A. How to Cultivate One's CreativityB. What is CreativityC. The Importance of CreativityD. Creativity--a Not Farway ThingQuestions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, EmilyDickinson spent her entire life in thehousehold of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a personpossessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life wastransformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room,sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white--a habit thatadded to her reputation as an eccentric.In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romantic plot,biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life--her struggle to create a female life not yetimagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn andemotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by WilliamLuce's 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage herpoetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a moregeneral pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on anargument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine,their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood".55. What's the author's main purpose in the passage?A. To interpret Emily Dickinson's eccentric behavior.B. To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.C. To discuss Emily Dickinson's failed love affair.D. To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson's time.56. Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson'seccentricities?A. Refusing to eat.B. Wearing only white.C. Avoiding visitors.D. Staying in her room.57. The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson's seclusion to__A. physical illnessB. a failed love affairC. religious fervorD. her dislike of people58. It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a societythat wascharacterized by __A. strong Puritan beliefsB. equality of men and womenC. the encouragement of nonconformityD. the appreciation of poetic creativityQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty ofrivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plentyof forests to cut and grasslands to pl0w. But that was once upon a time.. The days of unused landare over. Now the land has been spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms andindustrial parks, put to use.At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to workand places toplay. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and moreclean rivers for more fishers. And it isn't just a matter of population growth.Our modemtechnology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need morepower plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports. Each ofthese land uses swallows up precious space. Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000acres each year. And urban sprawl -- the spreading out of cities -- is expected to gobble up vastareas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard todecide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home forwildlife. It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.59. "...the United States seemed to have plenty of land to goaround" means that__A. the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk aroundB. the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyoneC. the United States could provide whatever its inhabitents' needsD. the United States was not able to allow its people to do what they wantedto60. The sentence of "Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys leftover" suggests thatA, the United States had a lot of rivers to dam and many rural valleys, tooB. the rivers could be dammed laterC. rural valleys would be considered in the futureD. people needn't think of the rivers and valleys61. "Now the land has been spoken for, ..." tells us that __A. today, land has shown its valuesB. now, people have said something about landC. nowadays, land has been claimed by human beingsD. recently, people spoke for the land62. The word "sprawl" indicates thatA. cities are developing very fast to meet the people's demandsB. urban areas are diminishing smoothlyC. urban areas are enlarging steadily in a planned wayD. cities are spreading out without any plansQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kindsof people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this isthat there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. Thereare more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with differentbeliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixedsocieties. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people tosee the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. Andalthough conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in thematerial aspects of the culture than in the non material, for example, in technology rather than invalues; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early;in the less basicand less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than inthe complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to theculture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily inhuman relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (一分为二). This isone reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to otherAmerican minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their whitecounterparts.63. What kind of society tends to promote social changes?A. A society where people are similar in many ways.B. A society where there are only white people.C. A society where there are only black people.D. A society where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.64. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?A. Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.B. Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when theywere old.C. Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to promote socialchange.D. Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotionalaspects of society.65. Social change is less likely to occur in a society wherepeople are quitesimilar in many waysbecauseA. people there are easy to pleaseB. people there are less argumentaryC. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldomthink itnecessary to changeD. people there have same needs that can be satisfied without muchdifficulty66. The passage is mainly discussingA. two different societiesB. certain factors that determine the case with which social change occursC. the necessity of social changeD. the significance of social changeSection BDirections: You should answer questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages.

It is still too early to predict the extent of the impact they may have, but all the signs are that they will play a significant role in the future.A Operating on the same principle as wind turbines, the power in sea turbinescomes from tidal currents which turn blades similar to ships’ propellers, but, unlike wind, the tides are predictable and the power input is constant. The technology raises the prospect of Britain becoming self-sufficient in renewable energy and drastically reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. If tide，wind and wave power are all developed, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe. Unlike wind power, which Britain originally developed and then abandoned for 20 years allowing the Dutch to make it a major industry, undersea turbines could become a big export earner to island nations such asJapan and New Zealand.B Tidal sites have already been identified that will produce one sixth or moreof the UK’s power and at prices competitive with modem gas turbines andundercutting those of the already ailing nuclear industry. One site alone, the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and mainland Scotland, could produce 10% of the country's electricity with banks of turbines under the sea, and another at Alderney in the Channel Islands three times the 1,200 megawatts of Britain’s largest and newest nuclear plant, Sizewell B，in Suffolk. Other sitesidentified include the Bristol Channel and the west coast of Scotland, particularly the channel between Campbeltown and Northern Ireland.C Work on designs for the new turbine blades and sites are well advanced at theUniversity of Southampton’s sustainable energy research group. The first station is expected to be installed off Lynmouthin Devon shortly to test the technology in a venture jointly funded by the department of Trade and Industry and the European Union. AbuBakr Bahaj, in charge of the Southampton rese arch, said: “The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because the flows of water are predictable and constant. The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. There are a few technical difficulties, but I believe in the next five to ten years wc will be installing commercial marine turbine farms.” Sout hampton has been awarded ￡215,000 over three years to develop the turbines and is working with Marine Current Turbines, a subsidiary of IT power, on the Lynmouth project. EU research has now identified 106 potential sites for tidal power, 80% round the coasts of Britain. The best sites are between islands or around heavily indented coasts where there are strong tidal currents.D A marine turbine blade needs to be only one third of the size of a windgenerator to produce three times as much power. The blades will be about 20 meters in diameter, so around 30 metres of water is required. Unlike wind power, there are unlikely to be environmental objections. Fish and other creatures are thought unlikely to be at risk from the relatively slow-turning blades. Each turbine will be mounted on a tower which will connect to the national power supply grid via underwater cables. The towers will stick out of the water and be lit, to warn shipping, and also be designed to be lifted out of the water for maintenance and to clean seaweed from the blades.E Dr Bahaj has done most work on the Alderney site, where there arc powerfulcurrents. The single undersea turbine farm would produce far more power than needed for the Channel Islands and most would be fed into the French Grid and be re-imported into Britain via the cable under the Channel.F One technical difficulty is cavitation, where low pressure behind a turningblade causes air bubbles. These can cause vibration and damage the blades of the turbines. Dr Bahaj said: “We ha ve to test a number of blade types toavoid this happening or at least make sure it does not damage the turbines or reduce performance. Another slight concern is submerged debris floating into the blades. So far we do not know how much of a problem it might be. We will have to make the turbines robust because the sea is a hostile environment, but all the signs that we can do it are good.”Questions 67-70This passage has six paragraphs, A-F.

Then mark your answer on the answer sheetShopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. 41 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street wasalways in the heart of a town. This street was lined on both sides with many various businesses.Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. .42 , some shops offereds. These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 43 . Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 44 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look withinterest at the open spaces 45 the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customersneeded. And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centres, or rather malls, 46 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centres. 47 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from downtown areas to outlying malls. And the growing 48 of shopping centres led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. 49 the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almostdeveloped into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 50 of one stop shopping,malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoorentertainment.41. A. As early as B. Early C. Early as D.

Each passage is followed by 4 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction, biography, poetry--we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow worker and accomplice (同谋).If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess (委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty two chapters of a novel--if we consider how to read a novel first--are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled asa building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficultiesof words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the toneof the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.51. What does the author mean by saying "Yet few people ask from books what books can give us"?A. The author means that lots of people read few books.B. The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books.C. The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content some kind ofbooks should include.D. The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books.52. According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?A. A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.B. The more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.C. To read something is easier than to watch something.D. One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.53. What is the possible meaning of "impalpable" (Paragraph 2) in the passage?A. Clear.B. Elusive.C. Delicate.D. Precise.54. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The importance of reading.B. The proper way to read.C. How to get most from one book.D. The characters of a good book.Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:It isn't often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A. D. McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation's progress in Canada.It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability--and of the development and the use of the aileron--by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto--and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.When World War ]I came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions. Following World War 11, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada's first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck,site of his first flight.55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about McCurdy?A. He was a Canadian.B. He is regarded as the symbol of Canadian aviation and aircraft industry.C. He is the first man to finish a figure eight in the air.D. He now lives in Baddeck.56. The "Silver Dart" isA. the name of a weaponB. a plane bought by McCurdyC. the nickname of a famous Canadian pilotD. a plane designed by McCurdy57. McCurdy is NOT the first one to __A. fly in CanadaB. pilot a flying boatC. fly from Key West to TorontoD. fly to Mexico58. Nowadays, McCurdy __A. lives in Montreal in summerB. is the lieutenant governor of Nova ScotiaC. is still very active and energeticD. is the government's counselorQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950's, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970's. S4 Something else happened in the 1970's: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. ~Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social--unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example--thanduring more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources ofincome to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B. There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970's.C. Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950's.D. High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.60. The phrase "laid off' can best be replaced by which of the following?A. Poor.B. Got rid of.C. Removed.D. Unemployed.61. American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they wereA. smallB. gas consumingC. fuel efficientD. not attractive62. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __A. Young people couldn't afford their own tuition in the 1970'sB. It's difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970'sC. Fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in1970'sD. Birthrate dropped in the 1970's because of the recessionQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change inthe way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (嗅出) something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"--string of alphabetic or numerical characters--ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.63. Which of the following is true about memory?A. It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B. It is based on the decisions we made in the past.C. It is rooted in our past habits and skills.D. It connects our past experiences with the present.64. According to the passage, memory is helpful in one's life in the following aspects EXCEPTthatA. it involves a change in one's behaviorB. it keeps information for later useC. it warns people not to do things repeatedlyD. it enables one to remember events that happened in the past65. What is the major characteristic of man's memory capacity according to the author?A. It can be expanded by language.B. It can remember all the combined words.C. It may keep all the information in the past.D. It may change what has been stored in it.66. Human beings make themselves different from other animals byA. having the ability to perceive dangerB. having a far greater memory capacityC. having the ability to recognize faces and places on sightD. having the ability to draw on past experiencesSection BDirections: You should answer Questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages.

A number of techniques developed since the 1950s, however, have placed the study of these subjects on a sounder and more objective footing. The best information on early population movements is now being obtainedfrom the “archaeology of the living body”, the clues to be found in genetic material.2.Recent work on the problem of when people first entered the Americas is an example ofthe value of these new techniques. North-east Asia and Siberia have long been accepted as the launching ground for the first human colonisers of the New World. But was there one major wave of migration across the Bering Strait into the Americas, or several?And when did this event, or events, take place? In recent years, new clues have come from research into genetics, including the distribution of genetic markers in modem Native Americans.3.An important project, led by the biological anthropologist Robert Williams, focused onthe variants (called Gm allotypes) of one particular protein - immunoglobin G - found in the fluid portion of human blood. All proteins “drift”， or produce variants, over the generations, and members of an interbreeding human population will share a set of such variants. Thus, by comparing the Gm allotypes of two different populations (e.g.two Indian tribes), one can establish their genetic “distance”， which itself can be calibrated to give an indication of the length of time since these populations last interbred.4.Williams and his colleagues sampled the blood of over 5,000 American Indians inwestern North America during a twenty-year period. They found that their Gm allotypes could bedivided into two groups, one of which also corresponded to the genetic typing of Central and South American Indians. Other tests showed that the Inuit (or Eskimo) and Aleut formed a third group. From this evidence it was deduced that there had been three major waves of migration across the Bering Strait. The first, Paleo-Indian, wave more than 15,000 years ago was ancestral to all Central and South American Indians. The second wave, about 14,000 -12,000 years ago, brought Na-Dene hunters, ancestors of the Navajo and Apache (who only migrated south from Canada about 600 or 700 years ago). The third wave, perhaps 10,000 or 9,000 years ago, saw the migration from North-east Asia of groups ancestral to the modem Eskimo and Aleut.5.How far does other research support these conclusions? Geneticist Douglas Wallacehas studied mitochondrial DNA in blood samples from three widely separated Native American groups: Pima-Papago Indians in Arizona, Maya Indians on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, and Ticuna Indians in the Upper Amazon region of Brazil. As would have been predicted by Robert Williams's work, all three groups appear to be descended from the same ancestral (Paleo-Indian) population.6.There are two other kinds of research that have thrown some light on the origins of theNative American population; they involve the study of teeth and of languages. The biological anthropologist Christy Turner is an expert in the analysis of changing physical characteristics in human teeth. He argues that tooth crowns and roots have ahigh genetic component, minimally affected by environmental and other factors.Studies carried out by Turner of many thousands of New and Old World specimens, both ancient and modem, suggest that the majority of prehistoric Americans are linked to Northern Asian populations by crown and root traits such as incisor shoveling (a scooping out on one or both surfaces of the tooth), single-rooted upper first premolars and triple-rooted lower first molars. According to Turner, this ties in with the idea of a single Paleo-lndian migration out of North Asia, which he sets at before 14,000 years ago by calibrating rates of dental micro-evolution. Tooth analyses also suggest that there were two later migrations of Na-Denes and Eskimo-Aleut.7.The linguist Joseph Greenberg has, since the 1950s, argued that all Native Americanlanguages belong to a single “Amerind”family, except for Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut - a view that gives credence to the idea of three main migrations.Greenberg is in a minority among fellow linguists, most of whom favour the notion of a great many waves of migration to account for the more than 1,000 languages spoken at one time by American Indians. But there is no doubt that the new genetic and dental evidence provides strong backing for Greenberg’s view. Dates given for the migrations should nevertheless be treated with caution, except where supported by hard archaeological evidence.Questions 67-72This passage has seven sections. 1-7.Choose the correct headings for sections 1-7 from the list of headings below.

Each passage is followed by 4 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide onthe best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist as asked which of three groups borrow most--people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes--he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947--1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increase may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months," she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer's resistance may be evoked.The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy Of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.51. If a scientist wants to study consumer behavior, what must he do?A. He must predict the way in which consumers will spend their money.B. He must do scientific research.C. He must know background of customers.D. He must do research and learn the resources and motives of customers.52. Which of the following groups borrow money most according to traditional assumption?A. People with rising incomes.B. People with stable incomes.C. People with declining incomes.D. None of the above.53. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable.B. The condition that most helps to produce spending appears to be price rising.C. Maintaining stable prices is a common business policy.D. The results of the investigation in America were not the same as those in Great Britain.54. The research survey in America have showed that when the prices rise, __A. people will hasten to buyB. people will stop buyingC. people will postpone their purchaseD. people will buy more than they can useQuestions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first railswere made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad executives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870's, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring and reheating iron ore.Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace would bum out the impurities that made the iron brittle. As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120 long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southernshores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo,Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all.Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyrocketed fromseventy-seven-thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.55, According to the passage, the railroad industry preferred steel to iron because steel was __A. cheaper and more plentifulB. lighter and easier to moldC. cleaner and easier to mineD. stronger and more durable56. According to the passage, how did Bessemer method make the mass production of steelpossible?A. It directed air at melted iron in a furnace, removing all impurities.B. It slowly heated iron ore then stirred it and heated it again.C. It changed iron ore into iron which was a substitute for steel.D. It could quickly find deposits of iron ore under the ground.57. According to the passage, where were large deposits of iron uncovered?A. In Pittsburgh.B. In the Mesabi Range.C. Near Lake Michigan.D. Near Lake Erie.58. It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel caused __A. a decline in the railroad industryB. a revolution in the industrial worldC. an increase in the price of steelD. a feeling of discontent among steel workersQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It isclaimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it.Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing (打盹) in a comer; no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, "On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearlyunderstood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object ofsuspicion.It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion etc. Of course, an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as "a marvelous jewel", while the Englishman will flatly state "Um, she's all right". An Englishmanmay recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, "It's not bad." The overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest; he must realize that "all right", "not bad" are very often used with the sense of "first class", "excellent". Thisspecial use of language is particularly common in English.59. One explanation for the different character of English people is thatA. they are geographically isolated from the European continentB. they have nothing to do with the other EuropeansC. they like to keep quiet among their acquaintancesD. they tend to be reserved by nature60. According to the passage, on entering a railway compartment, an overseas visitor is expected toA. inquire about the code of behavior in the trainB. shake hands with all the passengersC. shake hands with the person he knowsD. behave like an Englishman61. The English way of commenting on something or somebody suggests thatA. the English are modest in most circumstancesB. the English feel no less than any other nationalityC. the English tend to display less emotion than they feelD. the English don't take a strong interest in making comment62. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The differences between the English and the other Europeans.B. The different character of the English man and its reason.C. The reasons for English people's shyness.D. The code of behavior of the nationalities in Europe.Questions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting charactersand developing a plot in modem fiction. His astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th Century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself Norwegian so that he could read Ibsen's works in the original.When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.63. James Joyce was famous for many reasons EXCEPT __A. his way of constructing a novelB. his frank portrayal of human natureC. his complete command of EnglishD. his passion in literature64. "He is second only to Shakespeare" is a comment on his __A. achievement in literatureB. achievement in the nationalist movementC. achievement in his study of languagesD. mastery of the English language65. How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?A. 2.B. 3.C. 1.D. 4.66. Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?A. Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.B. Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.C. Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinionor public life.D. Because he wanted to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively aboutthe people and the places he knew best.Section BDirections: You should answer Questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages, Mark your answer on the answer sheet.Part OneA Air pollution is increasingly becoming the focus of government and citizen concern around the globe. FromMexico City and New York, to Singapore and Tokyo, new solutions to this old problem are being proposed, trialled and implemented with ever increasing speed. It is feared that unless pollution reduction measures are able to keep pace with the continued pressures of urban growth, air quality in many of the world’s major cities will deteriorate beyond reason.B Action is being taken along several fronts: through new legislation, improved enforcement and innovativetechnology. In Los Angeles, state regulations are forcing manufacturers to try to sell ever cleaner cars: ihcir first of the cleanest, titled “Zero Emission Vehicles ”，have to be available soon, since they are intended to make up 2 per cent of sales in 1997. Local authorities in London are campaigning to be allowed to enforce antipollution laws themselves; at present only the police have the power to do so, but they tend to be busy elsewhere. In Singapore, renting out road space to users is the way of the future.C When Britain’s Royal Automobile Club monitored the exhausts of 60,000 vehicles, it found that 12 per cent ofthem produced more than half the total pollution. Older cars were the worst offenders; though a sizeable number of quire new cars were also identified as gross polluters, they were simply badly tuned. California has developed a scheme to get these gross polluters off the streets: they offer a flat $700 for any old, run-down vehicle driven in by its owner. The aim is to remove the heaviest-polluting, most decrepit vehicles from the roads.D As part of a European Union environmental programm, a London council is testing an infra-red spectrometerfrom the University of Denver in Colorado. It gauges the pollution from a passing vehicle - more useful thanthe annual stationary test that is the British standard today • by bouncing a b eam through the exhaust and measuring what gets blocked. The council’s next step may be to link the system to a computerized video camera able to read number plates automatically.，has been falling steadily. Increasing it would be an effective way of reducing emissions as well as casing congestion. The trouble is, Los Angelenos seem to like being alone in their cars.F Singapore has for a while had a scheme that forces drivers to buy a badge if they wish to visit a certain part of thecity. Electronic innovations make possible increasing sophistication: rates can vary according to road conditions, rime of day and so on. Singapore is advancing in this direction, with a city-wide network of transmitters to collect information and charge drivers as they pass certain points. Such road-pricing, however, can be controversial. When the local government in Cambridge, England, considered introducing Singaporean techniques, it faced vocal and ultimately successful opposition.Part TwoThe scope of the problem facing the world’s cities is immense. In 1992, the United Nations Environmental Programme and the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded that all of a sample of twenty megacities - places likely to have more than ten million inhabitants in the year 2000 - already exceeded the level the WHO deems healthy in at least one major pollutant. Two-thirds of them exceeded the guidelines for two, seven for three or more.Of the six pollutants monitored by the WHO - carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, lead and particulate matter - it is this last category that is attracting the most attention from health researchers. PM 10, a sub-category of particulate matter measuring ten-millionths of a metre across, has been implicated in thousands of deaths a year in Britain alone. Research being conducted in two counties of Southern California is reaching similarly disturbing conclusions concerning this little-understood pollutant.A world-wide rise in allergies, particularly asthma, over the past four decades is now said to be linked with increased air pollution. The lungs and brains of children who grow up in polluted air offer further evidence of its destructive power. The old and ill, however, are the most vulnerable to the acute effects of heavily polluted stagnant air. It can actually hasten death, as it did in December 1991 when a cloud of exhaust fumes lingered over the city of London for over a week.The United Nations has estimated that in the year 2000 there will be twenty-four megacities and a further eight-five cities of more than three million people. The pressure on public officials, corporations and urban citizens to reverse established trends in air pollution is likely to grow in proportion with the growth of cities themselves. Progress is be ing made. The question, though, remains the same: “Will change happen quickly enough?’，Questions 67-70Look at the following solutions (Questions 67-70) and locations.Match each solution with one location.Choose the appropriate locations and mark your answers on the answer sheet.

Cloze TestDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark your answer on the answer sheetShopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20thcentury. 41 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street wasalways in the heart of a town. This street was lined on both sides with many various businesses.Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture,hardware, groceries. .42 , some shops offered services. These shops included drugstores,restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a changebegan to 43 . Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parkingplaces were 44 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look withinterest at the open spaces 45 the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customersneeded. And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shoppingcentres, or rather malls, 46 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded citycentres. 47 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from downtownareas to outlying malls. And the growing 48 of shopping centres led in turn to the buildingof bigger and better stocked stores. 49 the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almostdeveloped into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 50 of one stop shopping,malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoorentertainment.41. A. As early as B. Early C. Early as D.

Each passage is followed by 4 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction, biography, poetry--weshould separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few peopleask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred anddivided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biographythat it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish allsuch preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to yourauthor; try to become him. Be his fellow worker and accomplice (同谋).If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from gettingthe fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible,then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess (委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the firstsentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself inthis, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, orattempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty two chapters of a novel--if weconsider how to read a novel first--are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled asa building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicatedprocess than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist isdoing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficultiesof words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the corner ofthe street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the toneof the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained inthat moment.51. What does the author mean by saying "Yet few people ask from books what books can give us"?A. The author means that lots of people read few books.B. The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books.C. The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content some kind ofbooks should include.D. The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books.52. According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?A. A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.B. The more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.C. To read something is easier than to watch something.D. One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.53. What is the possible meaning of "impalpable" (Paragraph 2) in the passage?A. Clear.B. Elusive.C. Delicate.D. Precise.54. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The importance of reading.B. The proper way to read.C. How to get most from one book.D. The characters of a good book.Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:It isn't often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, andsuch is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A. D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at thesame time the thrilling history of aviation's progress in Canada.It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdyconfounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mileover the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by aBritish subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability--and of thedevelopment and the use of the aileron--by being the first man in the world to execute a figureeight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. Heflew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that overopen sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40miles from Hamilton to Toronto--and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.When World War ]I came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadianaircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions. Following WorldWar 11, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where hemade Canada's first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck,site of his first flight.55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about McCurdy?A. He was a Canadian.B. He is regarded as the symbol of Canadian aviation and aircraft industry.C. He is the first man to finish a figure eight in the air.D. He now lives in Baddeck.56. The "Silver Dart" isA. the name of a weaponB. a plane bought by McCurdyC. the nickname of a famous Canadian pilotD. a plane designed by McCurdy57. McCurdy is NOT the first one to __A. fly in CanadaB. pilot a flying boatC. fly from Key West to TorontoD. fly to Mexico58. Nowadays, McCurdy __A. lives in Montreal in summerB. is the lieutenant governor of Nova ScotiaC. is still very active and energeticD. is the government's counselorQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950's, resulting in a smaller college agepopulation starting in the middle 1970's. S4 Something else happened in the 1970's: the price ofoil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and makingAmericansaware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign carmanufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the exportmarket. ~Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to Americanbuyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry wentinto a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people inindustries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep whatmoney they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money neededto send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because duringa recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be usedfor social service--unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example--thanduring more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, becausepeople are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources ofincome to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the presenttime, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education.The colleges and universities are in trouble.59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B. There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970's.C. Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950's.D. High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.60. The phrase "laid off' can best be replaced by which of the following?A. Poor.B. Got rid of.C. Removed.D. Unemployed.61. American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they wereA. smallB. gas consumingC. fuel efficientD. not attractive62. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __A. Young people couldn't afford their own tuition in the 1970'sB. It's difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970'sC. Fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in1970'sD. Birthrate dropped in the 1970's because of the recessionQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meaningsof thousandsof everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skillsare to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includesnot only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change inthe way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grainbecause he has sniffed (嗅出) something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects andmachines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interestingto compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instantaccess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"--string of alphabetic ornumerical characters--ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes themeaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount ofinformation that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and placesthat the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But whilelanguage greatly expands the number and kind of things a person can remember, it also requires ahuge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apartfrom other animals.63. Which of the following is true about memory?A. It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B. It is based on the decisions we made in the past.C. It is rooted in our past habits and skills.D. It connects our past experiences with the present.64. According to the passage, memory is helpful in one's life in the following aspects EXCEPTthatA. it involves a change in one's behaviorB. it keeps information for later useC. it warns people not to do things repeatedlyD. it enables one to remember events that happened in the past65. What is the major characteristic of man's memory capacity according to the author?A. It can be expanded by language.B. It can remember all the combined words.C. It may keep all the information in the past.D. It may change what has been stored in it.66. Human beings make themselves different from other animals byA. having the ability to perceive dangerB. having a far greater memory capacityC. having the ability to recognize faces and places on sightD. having the ability to draw on past experiencesSection BDirections: You should answer Questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages. Mark your answer on the answer sheet.Population movements and genetics1.Study of the origins and distribution of human populations used to be basedon archaeological and fossil evidence. A number of techniques developed since the 1950s, however, have placed the study of these subjects on a sounder and more objective footing. The best information on early population movements is now being obtained from the “archaeology of the living body”, the clues to be found in genetic material.2.Recent work on the problem of when people first entered the Americas isan example of the value of these new techniques. North-east Asia and Siberia have long been accepted as the launching ground for the first human colonisers of the New World. But was there one major wave of migration across the Bering Strait into the Americas, or several? And when did this event, or events, take place? In recent years, new clues have come from research into genetics, including the distribution of genetic markers in modem Native Americans.3.An important project, led by the biological anthropologist RobertWilliams, focused on the variants (called Gm allotypes) of one particular protein - immunoglobin G - found in the fluid portion of human blood.All proteins “drift”， or produce variants, over the generations, and members of an interbreeding human population will share a set of such variants. Thus, by comparing the Gm allotypes of two different populations (e.g. two Indian tribes), one can establish their genetic “distance”， which itself can be calibrated to give an indication of the length of time since these populations last interbred.4.Williams and his colleagues sampled the blood of over 5,000 AmericanIndians in western North America during a twenty-year period. They found that their Gm allotypes could bedivided into two groups, one of which also corresponded to the genetic typing of Central and South American Indians. Other tests showed that the Inuit (or Eskimo) and Aleut formed a third group. From this evidence it was deduced that there had been three major waves of migration across the Bering Strait. The first, Paleo-Indian, wave more than 15,000 years ago was ancestral to all Central and South American Indians. The second wave, about 14,000 -12,000 years ago, brought Na-Dene hunters, ancestors of the Navajo and Apache (who only migrated south from Canada about 600 or 700 years ago). The third wave, perhaps 10,000 or 9,000 years ago, saw the migration from North-east Asia of groups ancestral to the modem Eskimo and Aleut.5.How far does other research support these conclusions? Geneticist DouglasWallace has studied mitochondrial DNA in blood samples from three widely separated Native American groups: Pima-Papago Indians in Arizona, Maya Indians on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, and Ticuna Indians in the Upper Amazon region of Brazil. As would have been predicted by Robert Williams's work, all three groups appear to be descended from the same ancestral (Paleo-Indian) population.6.There are two other kinds of research that have thrown some light on theorigins of the Native American population; they involve the study of teeth and of languages. The biological anthropologist Christy Turner is an expert in the analysis of changing physical characteristics in human teeth.He argues that tooth crowns and roots have a high genetic component, minimally affected by environmental and other factors. Studies carried out by Turner of many thousands of New and Old World specimens, both ancient and modem, suggest that the majority of prehistoric Americans are linked to Northern Asian populations by crown and root traits such as incisor shoveling (a scooping out on one or both surfaces of the tooth), single-rooted upper first premolars and triple-rooted lower first molars.According to Turner, this ties in with the idea of a single Paleo-lndianmigration out of North Asia, which he sets at before 14,000 years ago by calibrating rates of dental micro-evolution. Tooth analyses also suggest that there were two later migrations of Na-Denes and Eskimo-Aleut.7.The linguist Joseph Greenberg has, since the 1950s, argued that all NativeAmerican languages belong to a single “Amerind” family, except for Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut - a view that gives credence to the idea of three main migrations. Greenberg is in a minority among fellow linguists, most of whom favour the notion of a great many waves of migration to account for the more than 1,000 languages spoken at one time by American Indians.But there is no doubt that the new genetic and dental evidence provides strong backing for Greenberg’s view. Dates given for the migrations should nevertheless be treated with caution, except where supported by hard archaeological evidence.Questions 67-72This passage has seven sections. 1-7.Choose the correct headings for sections 1-7 from the list of headings below.
